Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat lyrics

Into the mercy seat I climb

My head is shaved, my head is wired

And the mercy seat is waiting

And I think my head is burning

Anyway I'm yearning to be done with all this weighing up of truth An

eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And

I'm not afraid to die

In heaven his throne is made of gold

And the Ark of his Testament is stone

A throne from which I'm told all nations do unfold

Down here I'm made of the wood and wire

And my body is on fire

And God is never far away
